Hitachi add-on promises better iPod sound

CES 2008: Uses SRS-WOW HD technology, Bluetooth headset too

First up is the new Hitachi Maxell Audio Transmitter / Dongle which combines Bluetooth transmission with higher-end stereo technology and is compatible with any Apple iPod. It can be connected via the proprietary Apple DIN connector and transmits SRS WOW HD-encoded music to any Bluetooth device. The sound quality of your compressed audio and video files will be enhanced, developer SRS Labs says.

WOW HD is an advanced audio enhancement technology, which offers better width and improved bass, high frequency contouring and definition enhancement to your music and video files.

The second Hitachi product is a Bluetooth v2.0 stereo headset that works with the Hitachi Maxell Audio Transmitter / Dongle, or any other Bluetooth-enabled music devices including mobile phones, MP3 players and docking stations.
